bolt pattern swap?

Post by tybob81 »

I have been shopping for rims for my 68 2wd and all the rims I like they don't make in a 5x5.5 ford pattern. Has anyone found a rotor that will swap on the disc brake spindle to make it a 5x4.5 or 5x4.75 or something more available. Thinking about custom rims from oasis or intro they will make them in what I need but they are a bit expensive. If the front cant be swaped out to a more popular bolt pattern I'll go the made to order route.
1968 swb hydroboost, ididit tilt column, Saginaw p/s pump with F series serpentine, all led lights, Vintage Air and painless wiring. 393w, tko600. CV front suspension w/c5 calipers and gt500 rotors. Stock Flexomatic leaf springs with 01 CV 8.8, 3.90 gears and Auburn locker. Custom wood bed floor. Full frame off resto-mod.

Go check out American Racing Wheels homepage (americanracing.com) and look under application guide. They have lots of wheels with the 5x5.5 bolt pattern. Check out LMC truck as well. (http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/fb/0076.html )
